Sarah 8/10

Fantastic location with superb views of the castle

Pros: Lovely location nicely decorated and well equipped.

Cons: The toilet was a bit claustrophobic and the mattresses weren’t hugely comfortable

A perfect holiday in a perfect location

Pros: Very cozy, spacious and clean apartment. Would love to stay there again.

Wonderfully warm weekend in beautiful surroundings!

Pros: The location was just perfect - looking out over the castle, right in the centre of old town. We were able to watch the lights on the castle while it was snowing from the comfort of the wonderfully well equipped front room.

Cons: There is nothing I can say here - we had the best time!

Pros: Amazing location looking out over the Castle forecourt. Right at the top of the Royal Mile. So many Edinburgh icons within walking distance.

Cons: The steps up to the apartment are a challenge with baggage.

Rees 9/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Lovely location and nice older traditional apartment with a great view, roughly 100 meters from the castle

Pros: Location was amazing, views from the windows were beautiful too, around a 100 meters from the castle wall.

Cons: Nothing, everything was great, you’d probably struggle if you are unable to walk a few flights of stairs as the apartment was on the 3rd floor.

Very good location, would recommend!

Pros: Very close to the castle which is the main attraction. Probably the nicest possible view. Has everything it needs to be honest. Lots of pictures of the castle in the house, I dare you to count them all.

Cons: The apartament is a bit old but not run down, just old. The shower definitely needs a fix, very hard to actually set the water temperature. Goes from hot to cold randomly, Also very called in the bathroom and there is no plug to plug in the heater.

Relaxing

Pros: Near the castle and we had the sitting room and kitchen to relax

Cons: The flight of stairs going up to the apartment

Jam 8/10

Fabulous character property in wonderful location but BEWARE of the stairs!

Pros: Excellent location. Bedding was clean and comfortable. Lovely large bathroom.

Cons: The stairs. I don’t recall any mention of the extremely difficult spiral stone stairwell which was poorly lit and difficult to negotiate. Particularly with heavy suitcases. (There is now a reference to the stairs - which may have been added since we booked?) It is 4 floors up from the street. Not an easy climb. Kitchen crockery was minimal and mostly chipped. Odd assortment of glasses and cutlery. Towel quality and quantity could have been better. Hooks and more surface space would be a great help in bathroom and bedrooms. Limited drawer space in twin bedroom.

Castle Esplanade

Pros: The location is perfect, just a few steps from the castle . Photos were provided for self check in making the process so easy

Cons: We arrived in Edinburgh @630 am after a 23-hour flight & and couldn't leave our bags on premises prior to check-in, but we're given websites, so we could leave our luggage there for $ 5 per bag .

Eszményi elhelyezkedésű szálláshely a történelmi belvárosban

Pros: A történelmi látványosságok karnyújtásnyira találhatók a szálláshelytől. Jól felszerelt, háztartási eszközök rendelkezésre állnak. A kommunikáció a szállásadóval gyors és korrekt. A szobák jól befűthetőek.

Cons: A lépcsőház gyenge megvilágítású. A szobák festése számos helyen kopott, az ülőgarnitúra megérett egy alapos tisztításra, a kilátást nagyban zavarja az ablakok koszossága.
